Adobe Captivate course import to LMS issue

Hi,
Want to know the which LMS (SCORM) does captivate is compatible with.
My LMS is OpenElms and supports SCORM 2004 and when I publish course and import to OpenElms, it does import., But when I use it a dialog box appears saying that cannot find Xpath.... bla bla
Want to know if it is compatible with Open Elms ?

Look here for the official list:

Don't forget that this list relates to the latest version of Captivate 6x, not earlier ones.

Adobe Captivate 5 import caption style issue

Hi dear all,
I use captivate 5, and so is my college. We try to make a base template to use and distribute to all that will work with us.
There are issues with setting standards in Captivate 5
Problem no 1
One issue is that all changes made to caption styles are gone after you close and open your project again.
a) Edit
b) Object Style manager
c) Change styles on e.g. default
d) Press button "Apply"
e) when done press button "OK"
d) Save and close
f) Open
d) Enter Object Style manager = all styles are back to factory settings.
Respons to predicted questions:
Yes we tried both opening Captivate 5 as an administrator and as a normal user.
Yes my account on the computer is the admin account
My college got the "Project-all-styles.cps" file I exported by choosing "all styles of all objects" and pressing export
This is done under Object Style Manager.
Problem no 2
My college successfully imports the file "Project-all-styles.cps", by choosing the import function under the Object Style Manager
This results in one [Default Caption Style] that still is with factory settings and a new [Default Caption Style]_1 with my preferences are made.
Problem no 3
The [Default Caption Style] can not be deleted, i want to remove the one called [Default Caption Style] and change name on [Default Caption Style]_1
I want to remove _1
Solution 1
Find a way in Captivate 5 to unlock the "change default lock" that seems to be there
Solution 2
Enter the file that contains the default styles and change manually by typing by hand. I could not find th file for that. It does not seem to be an *.ini file containing that information.
I hope for good answers on these question.
Best Regards // Daniel Perez

Just make it easy
1. Use an understandable language like when defining styles
When opening a *.cps document it looks like this
And that is not good.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
$ < C a p t i v a t e S t y l e s / > • ‰ ÷ Š ‹  “ Œ D ~ ÷ “  “ Ž “  “  “ e U f  j m n k g l h i 6 [ D e f a u l t R e v i e w A r e a S t y l e ] k m n k g h i ~ k g h i ÿÿÿÿk g h i ÿÿÿÿk m n k g Š h i ^ k m n k m n k m n k g h i k g h i k g ÿ h i k g ï h i k m n k m n k m n k g / h i k g ¶ h i k g · h i k m
n k m n k l ’ “ • ‰ ‘' Š ‹ } “ Œ D | ‘' “  7 “ Ž 7 “  “ • ‰ ë Š ‹ 7 “ Œ
2. Let the user choose within three options, and be able to change choice later.
a. Embed the styles in the project
b. Absolute-link to a folder, network folder or URL (with the URL it is easier to collaborate between individuals and also change styles centrally if needed)
c. Relative-link to a file. (E.g. one homemade folder called styles that always are at the same level as the folder with the projects)
This makes it easier to move entire project to other computers.
3. Have a button that says "default" then the issue of overwriting default is not an issue anymore.
4. Do the same three steps with question pools, motions, and all other features that could be lifted out in their own files. (E.g. skin editor)
I think that it would make this tool a really really really tough competitor to beat.
Just to sell it in a bit more, if e.g. the question pools would be an easy understandable XML then it would be no match to export questions from old systems/PDF's or read in questions in paper form with an OCR and transform them to useful XML's
Best Regards and very hopeful for the future to come

Remove imsmanifest catalog tag text 'Adobe Captivate Course'

Greetings,
After I've using elearning suite 6's multi-scorm packager (would love for this to be a part of basic Cp6, nuther topic),
I see that in the imsmanifest for the root folder (zipped) there is a <catalog> tag with the text 'Adobe Captivate Course'. Please see pic.
I don't remember seeing an opportunity to edit out this text and replace with a more accurate description. Of course I can edit it out of the imsmanifest.xml file, but I'd rather see where this can be removed/edited up front.
Can someone explain what I'm missing or why this is happening?
Much Thanks,
k

Hi
Can you please forward the file, or share it in a shared location, so that we can look into the issue?\
Thanks,
Mohana

Question on the Adobe Captivate 6.x Google LMS Widget With Email Reporting

Im looking to use the Adobe Captivate 6.x Google LMS Widget With Email Reporting to collect quiz answers and results but due to security issues I would like to put the results directly into a databse and not into google.
Does anyone have any experience in doing this and if so how what do I have to change to get the widget to send the results to the database.
Thanks

Email reporting has been removed in Captivate 6 out-of-the-box, though it can be achieved using a widget.
You can use Michael’s widget to achieve the same - http://www.cpguru.com/email-reporting-widget-for-adobe-captivate/

Adobe Captivate Help | Import questions from GIFT format files (Cp 7)

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/import-questions-gift-format-files.html

Hi there,
Captivate 7 doesn't support tags during GIFT import. So you won’t be able to import Images, links etc. as part of GIFT Import.

Adobe Captivate CS6 importing audio to the slide, worked correctly for 50 PowerPoint slides and the stopped working how do I resolve?

Hi
I am working on a project as normal where I import a PowerPoint presentation to Captivate. Then record the audio to the slide or if need be import the audio to the slide. This has worked perfectly fine until today.
I went to the slide clicked on the option to import audio selected the audio and it imported to the library but not to the actual slide.
I tried doing this also from the menu bar.
Then I tried to drag and drop from the library with no luck.
I then deleted the audio file and tried the process over again.
Next I tried rebooting and starting over.
Still no luck. What are my other options? The file is a a mp3 that is 273 kb.
Thank you

I'm relieved (if a little frustrated!) that others have the same issues, it makes me feel at least it's not just me! :-)
I am running Windows 7 64 bit Intel quad core processor 8Gb RAM if that helps Jim?
Another quick test shows I have exactly the same issues as shooternz and Ann Bens above at 7 & 8 respectively. An audio only or audio/video clip from Bin to SM and I can add markers on the fly perfectly. Audio/video from the timeline to SM works just the same. Audio only from the timeline will not work however.
I tried linking a video clip to my audio clip to see if that would allow me to add markers then unlink and remove the video... but when I opened that in SM the add marker button was greyed out and the keyboard shortcut (M) didn't work either!
Curiouser and curiouser...

Adobe Captivate 5.5 Simulation Slide Issue

Hello everyone,
Recently we recorded 7 separate simulations in Captivate 5.5.
We created a new Captivate 5.5 project and interjected these simulations throughout.
When playing them back, the first simulation does not play the first slide of its series.
The audio is correct, but nothing is showing on the slide.
I've been through many iterations of solutions and sometimes it will show the next slide, but still have the audio from the current.
Please provide any helpful feedback to overcome this issue.
Thank you

How did you 'interject', by copy/pasting those slides in the main project?

ADOBE CAPTIVATE 5 LMS course launch #Scene_1

I have an adobe captivate course my associate has created in Captivate 5. This course is just like everyone of his previous courses he has created. But this course starts on a page title captivatecourse.htm and after about 30 seconds to 1 minute redirects the URL to captivatecourse.htm#Scene_1.
notice: this redirection does not happen in the mozilla or firefox browsers. Only in Internet Explorer.
OK SO THIS IS THE PROBLEM.
We us a inline frame to launch our training courses inside of our LMS. This little redirection " #Scene_1 " in the browser is causing the course to behave terribly and causing the course to stop responding. Sometimes it just causes the content to jump around.
When this happens it also causes the sytem to not bookmark and not save scores. Actually all LMS activity stops responding after it hits #Scene_1.
I was wondering if anyone has run into this problem with a CAPTIVATE COURSE and what is the work around. To note: the workaround of opening the course in a new browser window is not an option right now. Management wants the course to stay within the same browser window.
-doug lubey of louisiana

how is this causing a problem.
when the captivate course /javascript changes the url / page title from coursexxx.htm to coursexxx.htm#Scene_1; it causes the javascript to load a swf file some how. it appears to be a bug in the captivate course / swf files /javascript files or the combination their of.
What the #Scene_1 is doing: it is causing the course to load
A 2nd time
A 3rd time
A 4th tine
Etc..
I think the problem is caused by the captivate course causing some javascript to run:
because the Url changes to coursexxxx.htm#Scene_1 and the title of the course in the browser
also changes to course title + scene 1
search reference captivate 5 year:2010
problems running a captive course using inline frames
captivate training course url is changed once the course is launched
course posted as a scorm 2004
i tested this problem in multiple lms systems and it is a consistent problem when playing the content within a inline frame

Adobe Captivate 6 - LoadMetadata (Manifest) issue

Please help - I am getting an error when I try to upload a course. What I am getting is this when I load it in SCORM
Warning - LoadMetadata (Manifest): LoadTechnical: Unsupported childNode found in Technical Metadata: pkgprop: ScormEnginePackageProperties

Hi Ryan,
Make sure that Captivate's complete version should be 6.0.1.240 or 6.1.0.319. (Help > about Adobe Captivate).
On which LMS are you uploading your Scorm Compliant Course?
Have you published as SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004?
Thanks.

Setting track for a captivate course

Does anyone know if you can set up "tracks" for a captivate course in the LMS.
I have a course with a lesson that is only applicable to certain group of learners and we dont want the rest of the company to view that information.
Our LMS does have the capability to set up tracks for courses created directly in the LMS system, but I originally created the course using captivate instead.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

If it is critical that one role does NOT see what the other role should see (e.g. for security reasons) then you need to have three separate versions of the course and set up your LMS to determine which role the person belongs to so that the only choice they get is the one appropriate for them. Most LMSs allow you to configure role-based learning this way. You add people to the roles set up in the LMS and that controls the learning options they see.
Doing what I suggested in Captivate is really just a way to have slightly personalised content for different roles inside the same project file. But the downside is that when you get to the quiz, everyone has to do the same questions, otherwise your quiz score can never be 100%. Then you'd need to resort to using a target for points scored instead of a percentage out of 100.

Adobe Captivate 4 - Tracking AICC to the LMS issue

Hi,
I created a Captivate 4 Quiz; I published the Quiz with the AICC reporting option and as a result Captivate 4 created the files shown below:
I hosted all these files in the same server, same folder, and same domain where the Isoph Blue (Learn Something) LMS is installed. I also published the course from the LMS and it seems to be OK.
When participants login and launch the course from the LMS the course works very well. All questions are shown, correct and incorrect answers are also shown at the end. The quiz window is closed at the end without problem.
The issue is that there is not notification to the LMS of course completion, the Icon (located on the right of the image shown below) that tells the participant course is completed does not change the status. It does not change from Launch to Print Certificate status.
The Captivate is not tracking correctly course completion to the LMS. So, we can not track user activity neither print the certificate at the end of the course.
Can you please help me troubleshoot this issue?
What can I do to make this course completion notification works with the LMS?
I can provide more information, files and details on how I created the course, etc.
Note: Isoph Blue is AICC compatible, there are other (*.aspx) courses that are tracked via AICC and they are tracked correctly, the issue is only with Captivate 4. We also have Captivate 3.

Hi there
I certainly cannot claim to be any sort of expert on the H.264 format, but Captivate 4 only produces SWF, EXE and AVI formats. So you are correct in that you would need to convert from either the SWF or AVI format to an H.264 format. From what I understand, AVI and MP4 are the two file extensions you may find H.264 file format used. So I suppose it's possible to say that if you have a CODEC (Compressor/Decompressor) installed for H.264, Captivate could spit out an AVI encoded in H.264 format.
More information on H.264 at the links below:
H.264 FAQ & Basic Conversion Guide
WikiPedia article on H.264 format
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Adobe Connect as an LMS and Adobe Captivate html 5

We are using Adobe Connect as an LMS.
We can create and publish Adobe Captivate modules as html 5,
Our problem is iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) can't access the courses through adobe Connect's courses and content because it is flash based and not supported by iOS.
The result is we have html 5, we can publish it to Adobe Connect, iOS devices can use the link to run the course, but we can't use it with the Adobe Connect Course displays.
Has any found a way to do that?
Thank you.

Ashwani,
Thank you for your request. I asked my developer for moire information - here are his clarifications for my question:
================================================================================
Technically it's Adobe Connect itself and a curriculum on Adobe Connect that are giving us the problem. I just borrowed an iPad and tried to login to Adobe Connect. I can't even login - it tells me I need to download Flash.
So the issue doesn't have anything to do with Captivate, it's Adobe Connect. We don't need to share any content - just try to login to Adobe Connect and you get stopped right there.
The real issue is
iOS users can't access HTML5 content on Adobe Connect because they can't login to Adobe Connect - that requires Flash. That means Adobe Connect isn't acting as an LMS, it's just a web server holding two kinds of content that you can link to. How can we login to Adobe Connect from an iOS device to see the list of curricula and access the courses they contain as an LMS with reporting, etc.?
=====================================================================
Would you still need to see the content?
Thank you,
Bill

Adobe Captivate 5 - Recording Issues

I have recently put together a 15 question quiz using Captivate 5 and am having issues with what it records at the back end. I have checked the forum and can find an answer to my question however this was posted back in 2010 and I didn;t even have Captivate installed at that point so don't think this is the issue. I have checked my quiz preferences a number of times to ensure that I have them set correctly and I can;t see anything wrong with them at all however, the course still reports a score out of 150 points, so for example, on my forst attempt I answered 8 out of 15 questions correct and the final page of the quiz told me I had scored 53% yet a score of 80 points was sent back to the learning system. Can anyone please help?

Hello and welcome,
I have no longer 5 on my machine (only 5.5, 6.1 and 7.0.1) but did you check the Advanced Interaction panel (F9)? It will show you all scored objects and the maximum possible score. Maybe you have scored objects as well as question slides.
Some LMS's don't accept scores above 100. Can you either ty to lower the score per question (10 to 5) and/or send percentage instead of total score? 80/150 is 53%, so the score sent is consistent with the values of the quizzing system variables you are seeing on the score slide. Maybe just confusion between % and points?

Adobe Captivate LMS Compatibility Guide - Anyone Interested??

Why is it so hard to find information about Captivate LMS Compatibility?
I'll admit to being somewhat frustrated with the lack of easily procurable information about how to make Adobe Captivate content compatible with the plethora of LMS products now flooding the marketplace. (There are over 100.) I had hoped for years that Adobe would put up a site (or at least a page or two) that listed LMSs and laid out the correct settings in Captivate to use for each one. Sadly this hasn't happened. And the search function on this forum seems to be broken, which makes it more than hard to find information about a given named LMS.
So in desperation I've decided to try and provide a venue for this type of information myself. I'm going to reserve a section on my website at www.infosemantics.com.au for information specific to Adobe Captivate LMS Compatibility. I'll be listing anyLMS products there for which I can procure information related to using Captivate. Headings on each LMS page will overview the LMS functionality, compatibilty with SCORM or AICC standards, any known issues with compatibility with Captivate content, what Cp quiz settings other users have found work successfully, as well as any modifications to templates, or workarounds that have proven useful.
Naturally, I only have access to a small number of LMS products for testing. So I'm enlisting help from any LMS users on this forum to provide suggestions and information collaboratively.
Here's what I need from you:
Simply go to http://www.infosemantics.com.au/contact and leave a message stating the brand and version of LMS/s you use, and a contact email address where I can reach you for information on how you got your Captivate content to work with it. I will add a new page to the LMS Guide covering every LMS for which people offer information and add the info under each heading. Each LMS page will also allow comments so that other users can offer feedback and suggestions. If the volume of response is to high for mere comments, I can add a forum for each LMS where users can exchange information on what worked for them. User's interested in a given LMS can subscribe to that page so that they will be notified via RSS of any updates to information.
I intend to create test projects in Cp5 that have various combinations of Quiz Settings which (according to user feedback) SHOULD WORK on each LMS. You'll be able to download these zipped SCORM or AICC packages to test on your own LMS as well as the Captivate project files (cp and cptx format) used to create them, so that you can see the settings used. Hopefully this will help you to debug compatibility with your own LMS.
You can also leave a message on the contact form if you are trying to use a particular LMS but haven't had much success and would appreciate getting information about it. I can't promise to find the answers, but someone else that chimes in might be able to do so once they know you're looking.
My sincere hope is that over time this resource will build into something that will save a lot of time and angst for every Captivate developer trying to work with an ever-growing number of LMS products. More and more clients have them. But it's a minefield out there.
Anyone interested in participating in this attempt?

No, I'm not only concerned with Cp5's LMS compatibility.
I intend to put up information about all Captivate versions that anyone can supply information on. Most likely this will be from about Cp3 onward.
